my OH reckons someone might nick the bike lock but the ladder's not worth the hassle ! lol

In many ways I hope someone does nick the ladder - he's had to hire it!

Have eaten dinner and am deep into an old episode of Taggart. I suspect I'll be there for the duration

Many Thanks for all your well wishes!! xxx

Toots the other 4 have taken quite well to the baby
Ds1 just looks at him and says awww then gets on with things!! (although i have noticed he has taken photos of him on his mobile)
Ds2 is brilliant with him and me....asking if i want coffee all the time, and feeding the baby and winding him too!!
Ds3 Is a little sad that hes not my baby boy anymore yes i know he is 10 but he is a wednesday child and full of woe.....but as long as he gets to hold the baby he is happy!!
DD...well......when she was told she was so excited and wanted to be the first to tell her dad that he was gonna have another baby....and she cried when i told her that it wasnt daddys baby.....her wee face nearly wrecked me:( then she decided that she wanted a brother as she wanted to be the only girl....(i did too at this point) and i said that i didnt know what the baby was going to be........(i think she started praying at this point...so did I) so i told the two wee ones together that Ds3 would always be his daddys baby boy and DD would always be her Daddys only daughter!!
Now she is fine and adores baby Mark!!

Awwww that's just lovely! ~sniff~ <fighting back tears> ~sniff~

Well done you on managing expectations, explanations and extraordinary miracles in that it was a boy. You're a remarkable mother xxx

MOFF.. DS3 is my 'baby boy' at 11.. he said he will be really sad if this baby is a boy because he wants to be the baby boy forever.. mines a Thursday child so no excuse lol!!

Soappie, i mulled over it for weeks!! I actually asked my mum to talk to DD to make sure she was ok!! Her reaction scared me, and I was hoping and praying that she would be ok.....so far so good!!

Pigpen it will work out fine Tell DS3 that he will always have been your baby boy for the longest of times!!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Pigpen and Co.

Fantastic news, everything happens when I am at work and I haven't even started on today's posts!

Am going to bed now and will catch up more in the morning. Hope the meet at Mhell went well today. I'm off work now for almost 2 weeks ah the positives of only working 2 days.

Congrats to Pigpen and to moff! I am really envious of you and know my clock is ticking!

No flying done yesterday or today, too much on the mind i'm afraid.

Hex, if i'd of known you were at junc 28, mcarthur glenn, I would of popped over for moral support for your ds as i'm 5 mins away and was on a half day from work

Would love some FL vibes for DSS as he had an assesement day for college today, few places available for a lot of applicants, also some good vibes for me please - can't divulge but would love any happy willing thoughts for me, it feels right

Night night sleep tight all
